About this listen
"What is normal for a spider is chaos for a fly." ~ Charles Addams
Are you ready to embark on a journey to transform your understanding of neurodiversity in your workplace and beyond? Prepare to challenge your preconceptions as we explore lived experiences, strengths and challenges of individuals on the spectrum.
Many autistic individuals face unique challenges including the need to navigate an intricate web of social cues, unspoken norms and physical environments. Most organisations create a homogenous, “one size fits all” culture without realising how rigid it is. Over time, this exhausting effort to fit in takes its toll, and the autistic colleagues, who bear this overwhelming burden, often find themselves misjudged as "the problem."
Autistic & Smashing It aims to shed light on the corporate understanding of neurodiversity - allowing better insight into this often underutilised and misunderstood talent pool. It is imperative that organisations not only recognise and embrace neurodiversity, but that they create a culture of understanding, acceptance, awareness and action.
Autistic & Smashing It is the world’s first book about the acceptance of neurodiversity in the corporate world... written by a neurodivergent executive.
The book is a testament to the collective wisdom of seasoned lived experience individuals, research and contributors.
Their poignant assertion, "You can't learn about Neurodiversity from someone with no lived experience, that would be like learning to drive from a non-driver" sets the tone for an extraordinary journey. Their words cast light on the complex dynamics of neuroinclusion and autism in the workplace.
Autistic & Smashing It is more than a book – it is a manifesto advocating for an intersectional, inclusive and transformative change in leadership ethos.
The book challenges assumptions and emphasises the profound impact of neurodiversity on fostering innovation and inclusion.
